Three characters on the .org, X-to-Y. L2I reads as learning to impact, lab to industry, or local to international.
Lab to industry is the technology transfer problem: getting research out of universities and into products. Every research institution has an office dedicated to it, there’s a professional field around it, and the organisations working on it are overwhelmingly .org.
Learning to impact suits education and development programmes. Local to international fits organisations working on scaling community models.
The X-to-Y shape is what earns a short letter string its keep. It supplies a direction, and direction is what institutional work is organised around: moving something from where it is to where it should be. A name that encodes that is doing real work in three characters.
Fixed supply at this length, and the .org signals the right kind of organisation before a visitor reads anything.
The name is listed for sale. Enquiries welcome.
